    Do mean 'secondary account'? On a Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'. Then go to System Preferences> Mail, Contacts and Calendars and sign in there. The account will appear alongside the new primary account you presumably intend to sign in with, but Photo Stream and Find My Mac will not work.

     

    Similarly in an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' (this will not delete the account on the server), then proceed as above.

    I have the same question. I set up accounts for both my kids and used my DOB. Now when I try to change the DOB on them to show their correct DOB and then show them as a Minor, it says I cannot change the dob, I must set up a new account for a minor.

    Ah, 'Minor' account not 'minor' account? - i.e.Children's account. See if this page helps.
